You Capture – Sunsets

I was very excited to hear that this weeks challenge was sunrises and sunsets. I love sunrises and sunsets.
And then I remembered what time sunrise is and that I really like to look at PICTURES of sunrises. The sun rises early. Way earlier than I’m up.
So here is my picture of a sunset. [...]

You Capture – My Life

Well, my life this week has been kind of all about sickness and ickiness and blech.  I didn’t get the camera out much, but I did get it out during a rousing game of Uno.
Uno is pretty big in this house.  We play a couple of times a week and at least one of those [...]

You Capture – My choice!

This week was Photographer’s Choice for You Capture. I always seem to struggle when left to my own devices, but I absolutely loved this shot when I downloaded it.
Seriously, you can’t beat this for a backdrop for soccer.  And I just love how patient Jake looks!

You Capture – Technology

I haven’t touched my camera in a week, so this You Capture is a shot from a few weekends ago.
The new age of corn mazes…

You Capture – Still Life

Despite Beth’s advice, I stressed about this one.
Then I was taking pictures for a recipe I was making. Still life.
And then we went to the pumpkin patch. Still life.
Really, still life is everywhere.  You just have to open your eyes and see it!

You Capture – Red

Lots of RED going on this week!
One of the things I love about this challenge is that it makes me stop and take notice. Before picking up a camera, I would have just walked past that ride bike. I love noticing the world around me now!

You Capture – Feeling like Fall

I am just ITCHING for the leaves to change. We are starting to see hints of red, but nothing major yet. So how else do I see signs of fall?
It’s in the fall wreath and porch decorations that went up last weekend.

And the glass of water on the kitchen window sill full of [...]

You Capture – Happiness

For them, happiness is going down the slide. For me, it’s checking out Emma’s hair at the bottom.

For all of us, it’s taking fall walks after dinner. For me, it’s capturing Dave’s actual smile (no matter how blurry) instead of the goofy faces he usually makes when the camera comes out.

You Capture is [...]

You Capture – Macro

I love macro shots.  I would love to get a macro lens.
I would also love someone else to pay for it.
Until then, I will just keep moving my camera back when it tells me I’m too close and then cropping to my hearts content!

You Capture – Something New

The You Capture challenge this week was to photograph something we never had before. I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but it didn’t pan out. (Note to self: always check to make sure your battery is charged before you take the camera away on vacation. Or, you know, PACK THE [...]
